Nah, they're just giving her backbone now to make her more lovable. If she was all batting her eyelashes and saying "Rescue me, Charlie," we'd probably be gagging.
Update: Roommate just squealed and said "Ooh! Brian McKnight and Jessica! That should be AWESOME!"
shudder
Yeah, there was the other Locke black&white thing earlier, too, eh? With Walt?
OK, I have to go to bed, even though I'm all wound up about this episode and what it means and what happened, and why oh why didn't I tape it? So, everyone, post lots of good stuff so when I drag my sick ass out of bed tomorrow to go to work, I'll have something to focus on while I summon the will to live.
The WILL to LIVE, people! Help a sister out!
OK, I think the Nyquil has kicked in. Offa to bed.
Yeah, there was the other Locke black&white thing earlier, too, eh? With Walt?
The fact that Walt's black and he's white?
Oh, you mean the backgammon.
ION, Jessica and Ashlee or whoever won't stop singing. I'm going to have to haul my butt into the other room to turn off the tv. They are totally off key. Argh.
Oh, you mean the backgammon.
Hee. The black & white's not an anvil, right? Right? Also? Is there a white rock that corresponds to the black rock? Cause there could be on a volcanic island.
I HAVE TO GO BACK AND WATCH EVERY SINGLE EPISODE RIGHT NOW!
Oh, someone on TWoP pointed out that Ethan Rom not only anagrams to "More Than" (as, I think, Nora pointed out) but also...OTHER MAN.
The WILL to LIVE, people! Help a sister out!
Share that, sister. I got Tylenol Nightime Cough- it promises minty freshness!!
Lilty, your roommate sounds...interesting.
The psychic deliberately put her on the doomed flight.
I can't figure this out. Because initially whatever he saw that was blurry was too horrifying for him to consider. But then he changed it to "you must raise the baby, or it's all doom and disaster for you both". So logically he'd "know" she'd get through the crash and the birth and the island living all right, but...what was so scary in the first reading then? Unless the second vision allowed him to see that the baby would be some kind of Miracle Child on the island, counterbalancing the forces of...shaky epileptic trees, or whatever.
Ethan seems too old to be any sort of child of Danielle's.
Initially I thought so, too, but I looked up Mira Furlan (who plays Danielle) on IMDb, and she was born in 1955, which makes her 49. (WOW, she's a well-preserved 49 year-old.) So, 16 years ago, she was 33. Old enough to have a 10-year-old child.
Plus, I like my pet theory. I shall hug it and squeeze it and call it George.
Initially, it looked like Claire's past would be something sad but commonplace, then the psychic dude showed up and I was all, ARRRGH, the creepy! At this point, I don't think anyone would have a normal back-story, because 1) it makes for boring TV, and 2) the island clearly has a purpose for bringing each and every one of them over to it. And now, I'm talking of the island as if it had a consciousness and stuff and no, I'm fine without my Thorazine shot, thank you!
